Task Response

The report covers the main trends in the graph and provides relevant data. To improve, ensure that the data cited is more accurate and pay attention to the correct spelling of place names. Also, consider including more comparative language to highlight the differences in population growth between the counties. The report falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report demonstrates an adequate attempt to organize the information, but the flow could be improved. The introduction and overall statement are present, but the transitions between the descriptions of each county could be smoother. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to link ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, using transition words like 'However,' 'In contrast,' or 'Similarly' can help to clarify the relationships between the trends in different counties. Also, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a clear aspect of the data to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there's room for improvement in terms of variety and precision. For instance, instead of repeatedly using 'increase,' try incorporating synonyms like 'grow,' 'rise,' or 'expand.' Also, be mindful of using more specific language to describe the rate of change, such as 'gradual increase' or 'significant surge.' Enhancing the range of vocabulary will make the report more engaging and demonstrate a better command of the English language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'Yanhill' should be 'Yamhill,' and there are inconsistencies in the use of articles and prepositions. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and sentence structure. Reviewing basic grammar rules and proofreading carefully can help to minimize these errors. Additionally, try to vary sentence structures to showcase a wider range of grammatical skills.
